Are You Suffering?
People in today’s society lack a point of reference for suffering. They describe being so tired that they just can’t get out of bed, are too sore to workout, or are to quick giving up when a task gets difficult.

PEK’s – Performance Enhancing Kettlebells
In CrossFit, we’ve seen the Kettlebell as something to swing overhead and in some cases, pick up and carry to the other side of the room. We certainly get a lot of benefits from these two movements, but Kettlebells do have other purposes & benefits.

Double Arm Kettlebell Sportstyle Swing
The Kettlebell Sportstyle Swing is always done with one arm, never with two arms like you see used with the swing that most people are used to, the conventional kettlebell swing. There is a very valid reason why Sport Athletes don’t do the sportstyle swing with two arms, and that reason is; it doesn’t transfer to anything in the sport, i.e. Snatch, Clean or Jerk. Every kettlebell exercise used in competition is performed with one arm, hence there is no reason to do the sportstyle swing with two arms.

What Is the Hip Hinge? What’s All the Fuzz?
The Hip Hinge together with the Squat are two of the most fundamental and primal exercises in existence.

Kettlebell Combo: Squat Dead Curl Press
This is currently one of my favourite kettlebell combo’s, I used it last week in one of our Caveman WODs. Because the exercise should be done with good form (shouldn’t all!?) and at a slower pace, this was a good candidate to perform for 5 minutes long, hence I put it in for 5 minutes,

I think it’s a lot of bull to justify the American Swing with it being more natural to complete the movement, if that is the case, then why do deadlifts at all, why not complete it with a clean or snatch? Hold your horses, just because I don’t agree with the above, does not mean I don’t like the American Swing, I’m just saying the above is bull to justify it.

How To Improve? Strategies For Learning And Teaching.
How does one improve, how does one give feedback, should you give feedback or should you stay quiet and ignore? Personally I’m a very easy going guy, if someone comes up to me and provides help, I open up, accept and process. Admittedly, my initial inner dialogue can sometimes be that of “who do
